A while ago, a generous list respondent sent me the following when I inquired about his "Waxoyl" recipe: << Here you go... 12 oz. candle wax/bee's wax 2 1/4 qts. turpentine 1 qt. mineral/light engine oil Use a cheese grater to crumble the wax into the turpentine, stirring constantly. Place in a warm (not hot) place till the wax is thoroughly dissolved. Thin with mineral/engine oil to a brushing/spraying consistancy. Use a garden type wand sprayer (the hand pump type...don't muck up the Graco) or a pump for 90 wt. gear oil. The goo is just that...adhesive and pretty much stays where it's put. Great if it's used where looks don't count. This stuff goes for about $40 a gal. under the WaxOyl name, and both Eastwood, and various British car suppliers sell it. Try <http://www.brit.ca/~tboiceycomics/service.html> if you're not up to all this muck-ing about, and want someone else to do it;-) >> George |
